About the artist

Gentle Giant

Oh, Gentle Giant, you wily prog-rock wizards! Hailing from the hallowed lands of Portsmouth, this eclectic septet had the audacity to blend complex time signatures, intricate harmonies, and a dash of whimsy into their delightfully noodly compositions. With a discography as vast and varied as a treasure trove of arcane vinyl, Gentle Giant eagerly embraced experimentation, pushing the boundaries of what was considered "normal" in the music landscape of the 1970s. Led by the Shulman brothers - Derek, Ray, and Phil - Gentile Giant proved that talent truly runs in the family. Their penchant for storytelling through music was unparalleled, drawing listeners into fantastical realms of knights, dragons, and mythical creatures galore. One can't help but marvel at how this merry band of musical misfits managed to seamlessly blend rock, jazz, classical, and medieval influences into a sonic tapestry that defies classification. Their live performances were nothing short of spectacle, with elaborate stage setups, intricate costumes, and a musical precision that would make even the most seasoned musician weak at the knees. And let's not forget their album covers - a veritable feast for the eyes, showcasing intricate artwork that perfectly complemented the auditory journey Gentle Giant was taking their listeners on. In a world where conformity often reigns supreme, Gentle Giant dared to be different. They carved out a niche for themselves in the annals of music history, proving that sometimes, it's the oddities and quirks that make for the most enduring art. So, here's to you, Gentle Giant - may your music continue to enchant and inspire generations to come.
